Embedding WordPress, Joomla (or similar) in CF

If so, are there are any issues with embedding content in this manner. We are looking are revamping our company web site and doing away with our current CMS. However, many of the content editors (i.e. non-programmers) are wary of learning Dreamweaver or HTML for that matter.

That puts us in a bind and someone has suggested WordPress and installing a local instance on our servers. We are primarily a CF shop, however, we'd have to get up to speed with PHP/MYSQL if we needed to extend WordPress or build custom apps. That could be a future option, but resources are scarce over here.

Would embedding external WP content on our site affect our Analytics?

Just thinking out loud for now. However, if you have come across issues or have similar experiences, please share them with us.

Visitors can't bookmark the pages (the URL is always the page containing the frame)

Search engines either won't index it, or if they find links to the framed pages, will index those pages directly, not with your CF container around it, leading people into your site without whatever wraps the frames

Thanks for the info. Any suggestions or recommendations on how to integrate WordPress or Joomla on a CF site? We also want to have this indexed. Right now, the existing CF and CMS (CommonSpot) in use has resulted in terrible design and development practices, poor performance and of course $$$$ - causing management to abandon the CMS altogether.

i built a coldfusion8 site and i also installed 2 instances of wordpress for my brothers website - he wanted seperate blogs. Wordpress is the best blog software and i didn't really need a full all out cms (if i did i would have used Expression Engine.)

How i wish they would write EE in Coldfusion!

Any issues running CF8, PHP and MySQL on the same box? I've already installed the WordPress folder, but need to iron out issues with MySQL and Windows 2003. Have you tried embedding (ex. via iframe or better method) the WordPress content within a CF template?

We have multiple user roles that have headers/navigation controlled by custom tags. We also have specific formatting, graphics and layout that would need to be customized in WordPress to fit our existing themes. The most ideal solution would be to just embed the content, but that would affect how those pages get indexed by search engines.
